How it's made

Boréale is one person: JigSawFr, a full-stack engineer who has built and run production software for years. AI coding assistants are part of the workshop, like the compiler, the tests and the CI. They write fast; I decide what ships.

JigSawFrWhat I do

  • The architecture, the scope, what ships and what doesn't
  • Reviewing every change before it reaches main
  • Testing on a real console when a change touches it
  • Signing every commit and every release

AIWhat AI does

  • First drafts of code and tests, which I rework
  • Part of the documentation
  • The translations into 15 languages, checked as far as I can
  • Reviews on top of mine, never instead of them

What it means for you

Nothing unreviewed
No change reaches main without being read and passing CI.
No AI in the apps
AI helps write the code. The homebrews call no AI service and send it nothing. The Home Assistant integration can offer its actions to Home Assistant's own assistant, if you expose a console to it.
A clumsy translation?
Open an issue: it is fixed in the next version. Issues
